I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away
Chapter 22: Substitute Daughter (19)
Su Lingyu said, "I understand. Thank you for your comfort, second brother."
Su Lingyu felt that the second young master was not only a master of imagination, but also a good actor.
Look at his expression and tone, anyone who sees him would say that he is a good brother.
"Then I'll go in and see big brother first. Sister-in-law, take care." Xiao Yixuan stepped aside to make way.
Su Lingyu nodded at him and left without looking back.
Xiao Yixuan looked at Su Ling's leaving back, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Xiao Yuchen liked Su Tingxue and why he married Su Lingyu.
Xiao Yixuan actually looked down upon some of Xiao Yuchen's behaviors. A good man should have great ambitions. How can he be called a real man if he is always entangled in love affairs?
I heard that the reason why he broke his leg this time was because of Su Tingxue. This good brother of his is really a lovesick man. It's just a pity for his sister-in-law, who is a miserable person.
Su Lingyu didn’t know that Xiao Yixuan felt sorry for her. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. They had no relationship, and she didn’t need her sympathy.
Su Lingyu originally wanted to go to Mrs. Hou to talk about Xiao Yuchen, but was stopped at the door.
"Madam, the Marquis and his wife have something to discuss with you, so they are temporarily unable to see you."
Su Lingyu heard the sound of something breaking inside and understood what was going on.
They are arguing, and it seems like it’s getting pretty intense. It’s a pity that I can’t go and watch the fun.
Su Lingyu looked at the nanny's stiff face and pretended not to hear the voice inside.
"Since mother is busy, I will come to visit father and mother next time."
The relationship between Lord Xiao and his wife was very strained, and they lived in separate houses. Lord Xiao surrendered his military power in his early years and only took a sinecure, living with Xiao Yixuan in a separate courtyard outside the capital. Xiao Yuchen inherited the title of the crown prince and lived in the mansion with his wife, and the couple seemed to be keeping to themselves.
Lord Xiao rarely comes home, even when Xiao Yuchen was seriously injured last time, he did not come back. Su Lingyu only met Lord Xiao once when she just got married.
This time, Marquis Xiao came back knowing that Xiao Yuchen had a broken leg, but in the eyes of the Marquis's wife, this was not a good thing.
"Chen'er's leg...it really can't be healed. What should we do in the future?" Lord Xiao asked with a frown.
Mrs. Hou felt deeply hurt when she saw Lord Xiao's attitude.
This is her husband. His son was injured, but there was no concern in his eyes, but he was thinking about the position of crown prince.
"Oh, for so many years, the Marquis has ignored us mother and son, but now he cares about us. Marquis, I don't care what you think, the position of the prince can only be Chen'er. This is what we agreed on in the beginning."
Madam Hou looked at him coldly. The position of Crown Prince could only belong to her son. He could never pass it on to those bastards outside.
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried about Chen'er's health. If Chen'er's leg really can't be healed, his future career will be ruined." Marquis Xiao said calmly.
"So what if he can't pursue a career in officialdom? My Chen'er is still the Crown Prince, and this huge Marquisate will belong to my son in the future." Mrs. Hou said excitedly. She knew that Marquis Xiao was thinking of changing the Crown Prince, and she would never allow it.
"You...you are simply unreasonable." Faced with the Marquis's wife's stubbornness, Lord Xiao was also a little annoyed.
If Xiao Yuchen was fine, he would naturally not have this idea, but now Xiao Yuchen's leg was broken. For the future of the Marquis' Mansion, he had to reconsider. After all, he had more than one son, Xiao Yuchen.
He didn't want the Marquis's Mansion to decline in the future, but unfortunately the Marquis's wife's stance was different from his.
"Am I being unreasonable, or is the Marquis going back on his word? The Marquis said in person that Chen'er is the only heir to the Marquisate. If my son can't get well, there's still my grandson. Anyway, he will never let those bitches outside get away with it."
Lord Xiao had a mistress and two sons, and the wife knew everything. It was only because of Lord Xiao's warning and his promise to the wife that the mansion would only be passed on to Xiao Yuchen that the wife gave up. Now that this has happened, the wife is most afraid that Lord Xiao will appoint another heir.
She didn't dare let Lord Xiao know that Xiao Yuchen was not capable, otherwise her position would be in jeopardy.
"Hmph, grandson, why don't you ask him to have a child? He's been married for such a long time, but there has been no movement. Don't think I don't know that he doesn't care about the consequences for a woman. The last injury and the broken leg this time, every one of them was his own fault. I found a job for him, but he didn't work hard and was only concerned with his own personal affairs. What a mess. A loving mother often spoils her son. I think you're the one who spoiled him." Thinking of what happened recently, Lord Xiao was also extremely annoyed.
Because of the Marquis's wife, Lord Xiao didn't like Xiao Yuchen very much, but after all, he was his son and would inherit the Marquis's Mansion in the future. He still valued Xiao Yuchen and was working hard to cultivate him.
But for the sake of a woman, Xiao Yuchen actually gave up a great opportunity for marriage and married a useless concubine's daughter.
Even after getting married, he was still restless and tortured himself like this for that woman, which made him extremely disappointed.
The two parted unhappily in the end. The Marquis' wife was thinking about how to keep her son's position as the crown prince, while Lord Xiao was thinking about how to slowly make his two sons recognize their ancestors. The Marquis's family business must not be lost in Xiao Yuchen's hands.
But before the two could start fighting, something big happened again.
Perhaps the temple for praying for a child was really effective, and more than a month later Su Tingxue became pregnant.
Unfortunately, before she could be happy for too long, the concubine of the Prince of Qin came to the imperial court with a complaint, saying that Su Tingxue had an affair with someone and the child was not the Prince of Qin's.
As for the adulterer, he was Xiao Yuchen, the son of Marquis Zhongyi.
So the marquis' family was summoned into the palace by the emperor.
When Su Lingyu entered the hall, she heard Concubine Yun speaking with a smug look on her face about the affair between Su Tingxue and Xiao Yuchen.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the princess and Prince Xiao were childhood sweethearts, and they had already decided to spend their lives together before the selection. I remember that last time, Prince Xiao blocked a knife for the princess at the gate of the Princess's Villa. This shows that Prince Xiao has always been obsessed with the princess. A month ago, the princess and Prince Xiao were kidnapped together, and they were alone together for a whole day and night.
The princess has been married to the prince for so long but has yet to get pregnant. She has not gotten pregnant earlier or later, and she got pregnant at this time, which coincides with the time when the princess was kidnapped, so it is hard not to think too much about the princess' pregnancy. "
Women of this era attached great importance to their reputation. The dealings between Su Tingxue and Xiao Yuchen were very secretive, and their relationship was not publicized everywhere. Not many people knew that Xiao Yuchen was concerned about Su Tingxue, and it took Concubine Yun some effort to find out about this.
The emperor sat at the top with a sullen face, not saying a word.
Concubine Sheng's expression was also very ugly. Looking at her niece kneeling down with a smug look on her face, Concubine Sheng wished she could pry open her brain to see if it was full of water, what a fool.
Let’s not talk about whether Su Tingxue had an affair with someone. Even if she did, it is a shameful thing, a royal scandal, and it is usually resolved privately.
Such an idiot is showing it off so openly.
Did she think that by overthrowing Su Tingxue, she could take the position of the princess? It was a fantasy. Su Tingxue had an affair with an outsider and cuckolded his son, so would his son be proud?
Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, and no matter what will happen to Su Tingxue, she, who exposed the scandal and brought shame to the royal family, will definitely not end well.
